KIPP NYC Washington Heights Academy Charter School

KIPP Washington Heights Middle School is a K-8 charter school known for its college-focused learning environment and commitment to student growth. The school emphasizes rigorous literacy and math instruction, with proficiency rates in both subjects performing above the citywide median. Parents consistently express overwhelmingly positive sentiment, praising the school's quality education, strong communication, and caring teachers. The school fosters a supportive community, offering individualized supports and culturally relevant instruction that nurtures intellect and identity. A free after-school program provides students with enrichment activities and clubs, including Chess, Photography, Step, and Robotics. While the school's Algebra I Regents pass rate is solid, the suspension rate is a point of consideration.
